In a significant encounter near the India-Myanmar border, Assam Rifles personnel engaged and killed 10 militants in Manipur’s Chandel district on Wednesday. The operation, initiated by a unit under the Indian Army’s Spear Corps, targeted armed insurgents following precise intelligence about their movements near New Samtal village in Khengjoy Tehsil.
The firefight resulted in the recovery of a substantial cache of weapons and ammunition, underscoring the intensity of the clash. The Army’s Eastern Command confirmed the operation remains active, with security forces maintaining vigilance in the area. This development follows heightened security measures in Manipur, where ethnic violence and insurgent activities have persisted over the past two years.
